Convert laptop track pad to an external USB mouse

I have hp pavilion dv2000 laptop which was not useful as a laptop due to over heating problem.
every ones in 2 month the hard disk will crash and i need to replace the heard disk.
This was the triggering point that i thought i will tear down the laptop and make use of each and every part of the laptop.

In this article I will convert the mouse track pad of this laptop to an external USB mouse. There will be yet more post for each other components that i converted, like DVD drive to External portable drive etc.

First i disassembled the laptop using the below link.
